Lab3 - moviebot

Prerequisite - get an API key for open movie database

1. Click the omdb link and sign up for a free api key

Getting started

1. create a new bot in LEX called moviebot
2. create a welcome intent with your bot greeting called movieHelp (utterances: Help, Hi, Hello)
3. create a new intent for moviePlot (Utterances: What is the plot of {movie}?, etc...)
4. Add a slot variable called "movie" with a slot type of AMAZON.movie and a question of "What Movie?"
5. create more intents for movieReleaseDate, movieRuntime, and movieRating -
   1. add slot for movie in each one with prompt of "What movie?"
   2. and Utterances for each for example: "What was the release date of {movie}, how long is {movie}, what was {movie} rated
6. From Lambda console create a new function called getMovie using defaults (Python 3.7)
7. add api_key environment variable with your openmovie DB API key
   1. within the Lamda function, find the section of code that has the if, elif statements:

    if movie_intent == "movieReleaseDate":
        response_body = f"{movie_title} was released on {movie_date}"
    elif movie_intent == "moviePlot":
        response_body = f"{movie_title}: {movie_plot}"
    elif movie_intent == "moviePoster":
        response_body = movie_poster
    elif movie_intent == "movieRating":
        response_body = f"{movie_title} is rated {movie_rating}"
    elif movie_intent == "movieRuntime":
        response_body = f"{movie_title} has a runtime of {movie_runtime}"
    else:
        response_body = f"I'm sorry, I didnt quite understand your request."

2. modify the lines which mention movie_intent == "": - change what is in the "" to match the intent name you used in LEX
3. save the Lambda function after any changes to the python code
4. Paste the Python code into the Lambda Function
5. In Lex intent, set fulfillment to Lambda function
6. Save, Build, and Test
